### xmlSecKeyDataNameGetKlass ()

    xmlSecKeyDataId
    xmlSecKeyDataNameGetKlass (void);

The <dsig:KeyName/> element key data klass (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/sec-KeyName):

The KeyName element contains a string value (in which white space is significant) which may be used by the signer to communicate a key identifier to the recipient. Typically, KeyName contains an identifier related to the key pair used to sign the message, but it may contain other protocol-related information that indirectly identifies a key pair. (Common uses of KeyName include simple string names for keys, a key index, a distinguished name (DN), an email address, etc.)

#### Returns

the <dsig:KeyName/> element processing key data klass.

### xmlSecKeyDataValueGetKlass ()

    xmlSecKeyDataId
    xmlSecKeyDataValueGetKlass (void);

The <dsig:KeyValue/> element key data klass (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/sec-KeyValue):

The KeyValue element contains a single public key that may be useful in validating the signature.

#### Returns

the <dsig:KeyValue/> element processing key data klass.

### xmlSecKeyDataRetrievalMethodGetKlass ()

    xmlSecKeyDataId
    xmlSecKeyDataRetrievalMethodGetKlass (void);

The <dsig:RetrievalMethod/> element key data klass (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/sec-RetrievalMethod): A RetrievalMethod element within KeyInfo is used to convey a reference to KeyInfo information that is stored at another location. For example, several signatures in a document might use a key verified by an X.509v3 certificate chain appearing once in the document or remotely outside the document; each signature's KeyInfo can reference this chain using a single RetrievalMethod element instead of including the entire chain with a sequence of X509Certificate elements.

RetrievalMethod uses the same syntax and dereferencing behavior as Reference's URI and The Reference Processing Model.

#### Returns

the <dsig:RetrievalMethod/> element processing key data klass.

### xmlSecKeyDataEncryptedKeyGetKlass ()

    xmlSecKeyDataId
    xmlSecKeyDataEncryptedKeyGetKlass (void);

The <enc:EncryptedKey/> element key data klass (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core/sec-EncryptedKey):

The EncryptedKey element is used to transport encryption keys from the originator to a known recipient(s). It may be used as a stand-alone XML document, be placed within an application document, or appear inside an EncryptedData element as a child of a ds:KeyInfo element. The key value is always encrypted to the recipient(s). When EncryptedKey is decrypted the resulting octets are made available to the EncryptionMethod algorithm without any additional processing.

#### Returns

the <enc:EncryptedKey/> element processing key data klass.

## Types and Values
